摘要

The FHWA, on behalf of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is issuing this Notice of Intent (NOI) to solicit comment and advise the public, agencies, Tribes, and stakeholders that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared for the North- South Corridor, Segment 1, a new highway between U.S. Highway 60 (US 60) and Arizona Farms Road in Pinal County, Arizona. The Tier 1 Final EIS and Record of Decision were completed in August 2021 and addressed the need for additional north-to-south transportation capacity and connectivity in Pinal County. This Tier 2 EIS will build upon the Tier 1 EIS process. A Tier 2 EIS has also been initiated for Segment 2 and a NOI is expected within the next 12-months.
